we got bread bombed last night. the doorbell rang at 10:30pm and when mum answered it there was no one there but this box of bread. i'm sure there's some kind of logical explanation but just the smell of it makes me sick.

when i awoke this morning i opened the little window beside my bed only to be greeted by kanga.

i took about a million photos of her, trying to get the light right, before figuring that i got at least one good shot and getting up out of bed. it was only then that i realised that she had a baby roo with her and he promptly jumped into her pouch for a photo op. they're so well camouflaged though aren't they?

and it was this that really reminded me of roo from 'winnie the pooh'

he always seems to be having such a lot of fun! easily the best character (followed quite closely by tigger).

it was raining when i woke up on the first day which was a bit of a black eye. but the light was quite beautiful and grey so that put a feather in my cap. (i watched 'catch 22').

coffee by aldo rossi.

the sun came out (a little)!

the beginnings of the new garden.

moguls.

went into town but there were too many silly school leavers there so i had lunch at blue ginger.

killed a cockroach and made a ratatouille. the two events are only linked by the fact that the cockroach attacked me when i went in to the pantry to get olive oil (it's under the spray, under the paper towel and was there for a good few hours just to be sure it was dead).

young david and i went to see 'quantum of solace' on friday night and that took up a large portion of the last of my money. so saturday night was a bit quiet. i planned to watch 'moulin rouge!' because after seeing the preview for 'australia' (and getting a bit teary - i know, getting ahead of myself homesickness-wise) i remembered how much i like baz luhrmann and his lavish productions...

... but, there happened to be a spongebob marathon under way. yep, he's playing his nose is a forlorn fashion because his "best-day-ever" wasn't working out the way he planned. i can relate, though i can't play my nose as well as him (i did try though).

spoke to ellie via skype, that was pretty good too. we were kind of dressed the same as well, darn american apparel! she said my coat arrived safely, as did my ugg boots. awesome.

i cleaned the house today (mum needed a cleaner, i needed cash) and cleared a whole bunch of stuff out of my room. so finally i have access to my rocking chair again. it didn't take much, but i just happened to be on a serious mission today and it finally got done.

my darling mother bought me these to keep my toes warm in the new city (and new climate). these ones are hand made in fremantle and considerably cheaper than the ones with the registered 'ugg' name. they're so legit. thanks mum!
